Winter Cup

The Winter Cup was contested over two rounds at Brands Hatch on 4–5 November and Croft on 11 November. It was won by Niki Lanik driving for Drive 4 Life with SVE.

Due to low grid numbers, the Clios raced simultaneously with other series at both events (Classic Touring Cars at Brands Hatch and Northern Sports Saloons at Croft).
